EURAMET e.V. and the EMPIR members invite interested parties to submit ideas in the form of potential research topics to advance measurement science and technology in Industry

Stage 1 offers the chance for all stakeholders from any country to influence the R&D projects undertaken by the European metrology community by identifying the challenge, problem or opportunity for potential research topics (PRT).

The highest priority research topics received in Stage 1 will provide the basis for Stage 2.

Call has now closed

Stage 2 of Call 2014 - Industry is NOW CLOSED

OPENING DATE: 24 June 2014

CLOSING DATE: 9 October 2014

The EMPIR Committee has selected thirty three research topics (SRTs) for Industry from the potential metrology research topics (PRTs) submitted at Stage 1. Some SRTs contain inputs from more than one single PRT as similar ideas have been combined where appropriate. These SRTs are the basis of the Joint Research Projects (JRPs) which consortia will be invited to submit

Some countries have declared a strategic priority for inclusion in particular projects. Coordinators are requested to seek the involvement of partners from these countries. The list of priorities is HERE
